The Geek Bar Pulse, a popular disposable vape, can sometimes malfunction. If your Geek Bar Pulse isn't hitting, it's frustrating, but thankfully, there are several reasons why this might be happening, and often, simple solutions. Let's troubleshoot this common problem.
Is My Geek Bar Pulse Empty?
This is the most common reason. Disposable vapes have a limited lifespan. Once the e-liquid is depleted, the device will no longer function. Check the level of e-liquid visible through the device's window. If it's empty, you'll need to replace your Geek Bar Pulse. While some might show a small amount of liquid near the bottom, it may not be enough for the coil to function.
Is the Coil Burnt Out?
Overuse or incorrect vaping techniques can lead to a burnt coil. A burnt coil tastes harsh and produces less vapor or none at all. This often smells burnt and is usually irreversible in disposable vapes. If your Geek Bar Pulse tastes burnt, it needs replacing.
Is There a Clogged Airflow?
Sometimes, debris or condensation can clog the airflow inlets, preventing the device from drawing properly. Carefully inspect the airflow vents on your Geek Bar Pulse. If you see any obstructions, try gently cleaning them with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. However, be very cautious not to damage the device.
Is the Battery Dead?
While rare in disposable vapes, especially new ones, the battery could be depleted, especially if it’s been sitting unused for a long time. Try a different Geek Bar Pulse to rule out a faulty battery in the original. If the new one works, it confirms the issue with your old device.
Is the Mouthpiece Properly Attached?
A loose or misaligned mouthpiece can interfere with airflow and prevent the device from working. Ensure the mouthpiece is securely fitted. Any slight misalignment can disrupt the airflow.
Is My Geek Bar Pulse Faulty?
If you've checked all the above, and the Geek Bar Pulse still isn't hitting, the device itself might be faulty. This is unfortunately something that happens occasionally with disposable vapes. Consider contacting the retailer where you purchased it, as they might offer a replacement or refund, depending on their return policy.
What Should I Do if My Geek Bar Pulse Isn’t Hitting?
First, systematically go through each of the above troubleshooting steps. Start with the simplest solutions—checking the e-liquid level and mouthpiece—before moving on to more complex possibilities. If none of these fixes the problem, then it's likely a manufacturing defect.
How Can I Prolong the Life of My Geek Bar Pulse?
While disposables are meant to be used until they’re empty, you can prolong their lifespan by avoiding rapid, continuous puffs. Let the device rest between puffs to allow the coil to cool, reducing the risk of a burnt coil. Store it upright to prevent e-liquid from getting into the airflow system.
By systematically checking these points, you should be able to determine why your Geek Bar Pulse isn't hitting and hopefully get back to vaping. Remember, always responsibly dispose of used disposable vapes according to local regulations.
